Most materials I find or make myself. I sell a variety of materials for making knife handles. I make knives myself and am always seeking interesting handle material. You might look all around the web site at various raw materials. But some material I cut with the knife maker in mind, that I know will work and has been cut specifically for knife makers. Most of the wood under 'raw wood' is good for knives as well, but here are some materials to glance through all in one place. Most of these materials I find or create myself so can answer questions on suitability use care etc..

Mammoth ivory chunk 2 pounds

$310.00
$300.00

Out of stock

10 x 7 (around the curve) x ½ inches. Vivid highly sought after, natural as blue as it gets, all the way through. The bad news…. Soft spots, unstable back but uniform ¼ solid. Lots of project potential, knife scales pendants etc. Will take a polish. Back been glued to hold the bad parts in place so you decide what to keep. Offered raw, I have not treated this. Some original river silt may be on the back in the cracks. Dried for 3 years so stable. For those who want true raw at raw price with minimal work done to it. Having some experience with this material is best on this- choosing how to cut how to stabilize etc. to get the most out of this stunning piece. One set of knife scales made of this will be worth the price. ​

$495.00
$400.00

12 x 4 around the curve by ½ inches thick. Descent deep natural colors, but has delamination and one big crack issue.Each delamination layer is stable and ¼ inch. Or could possibly restore stabilize to the full thickness if required. Crack takes an even 1 inch off the width. (an inch is a normal need for knife scales.)

Knife guard brass aligator

Mammoth ivory chunk 6.8 ounces

$95.00

Out of stock

4 x a tapered 3 to 3.5 x ½ tapers to ¼ inches. Fairly solid but one layer looks like it wants to delaminate (see end picture). I have done nothing so you stabilize if you wish or pop that layer and get two pieces. This is one piece all natural, no dyes or work done. Partly because I see some color waves of blue and gray that could be awesome if handled right. No enhancement needed. Great for knife scales but would scrimshaw well or work as a carving.

Mammoth fossil ivory chunk 3 pounds

$300.00

Out of stock

Stabilized for carving or knife scales. 7 inches tall x 4 inches across. I did some experimenting with the stabilize, so only an ok job done, not perfect or great, but at least the layers are held together well. I tried to add 'blue' in cracks on the outer surface, I was going to use this piece myself for a project. I's just the outer layer! Outside has nice uniform alligator pattern Inside has alternating layer color changes that could be put to use in a project. Discounted price due to hokey stabilize. Price at $300 a pound is half what it might be

Fossil mamamoth ivory chunk 11.5 oz

$200.00

5 tall x 6 x 1/2 inches. Fairly even cream color. Solid no soft spots but minor cracks. could want to delaminate. Normal for unstablilzed. This is all natural untouched as is for you to decide what to do with it, depending on your needs. Some needs could require delamknating to make thinner layers for jewelry. This is for those who want all natural. This would be a good selection for large carving or scrimshaw piece. Could be cut into several knife scale sets. Nice uniform thickness and even hardness.

Mammoth bone 40,000 years old from interior Alaska. 4 x 1.5 x 1/2 inch thick. Offered as knife scale set but can have other uses. Would carve or accept scrimshaw well.

Mammoth tooth slice set 8.3 ounces

$90.00

Out of stock

Mammoth tooth set 4 x 2 x 1/4 inches thick. Cut for knife scales but could have other uses. Nice large set would fit any knife project like bowie or sword. This has been stabilized but not dyed. The darkest brow area are stabilizing resin, otherwise this set would fall apart. Very hard materil, I suggest diamond tools to work it, however normal sanding belts work or wood tools, it's just hard on them. Rare unique material

Mammoth tooth slice set 6.6 ounces

$95.00

Set of mammoth tooth slices traditionaly sold for knife handle scales but could have other uses. 2 x 3 inches, 1/4 inch thick. Almost rock hard but can be worked with belt sander, normal cutting tools- just hard on tools if it's not rock equipment. These are all natural slices in dyed ungtreated. Could possibly get two knife scale sets. I would not choose this as scrimshaw material as there is alternating harder and softer layers. Wonderful colors, rare unique material.

Mammoth tooth large slice 13.7oz

$125.00

Nice chunk of solid mamamoth tooth with one side cut and polished. 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches. Lots of uses, sliced for knife scales, carving, just display. This is a close to rock hard material. A band saw with normal wood blade will cut it but after 3-4 slices will be dull. (so about $3 a slice if done this way.) I use a diamond rock saw. Some preparation work has been done I am not calling 'stablized' but cracks filled with glue, mostly on the outside so will not come apart when cutting. Might be fine natural as is or yo may decide to stabilize. This tooth comes from an area carbon dated to 40,000 years old from the interior of Alaska I found myself.
